Does it send you to an online casino or a website that shows the habits of schoolgirls and horses? Because my best guess is spyware, have you tried running some anti virus/spyware programs?

Google Lavasoft Ad-Aware, install it, run the program, and that should fix your problem.

Beyond that, I'm stumped.

Try Microsoft Anti-Spyware too. It's actually free and works! :O

Yeah, if you try to remove spyware manually you will probably miss some. Just the way it works.

And if you don't have it yet, Get spybot: search and destroy. it works wonders.

Get all that was mentioned above, I have 4 different anti-spy programs active on my computer.

One of them is a trojen remover, and the other one has a free trial that expires soon.  So acually I have two: Spybot S&D, and Ad-Aware.

They work wonders together, one picks up what the other one misses.

Also Symantec Norton Anti-Virus (Not Free) takes out some spyware, but most of the time it can't remove it completely.

If you are Using Microsoft Internet Explorer, get Mozilla Firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/central.html).  Because spyware tends to stick to IE, especially if you have MS Windows.

But if everything gets out of hand, reformat your computer as a last resort.  I had to reformat after the invasion of the dreaded IE plugin "Elite Toolbar."

Ok, this is strange, I cant get on any antispyware websites.
I'm really scared now.
I'm think it's my computer, so I'll email all my contacts from another, and set up a new account.
